Get the single HD3870. The 3650s are only GDDR2 and 128-bit

are you going to buy these cards? or do you already have them. If you are buying, i'd suggest getting a 4850 or the 4830s. You can easily overclock the 4830 to run as fast as a 4850.

Yeah they are the same core as the 4850, shaders down clocked a bit which sucks cause ATI don't let you touch those.

I believe the card actually has less stream processors as well, for that reason it will never match the 4850, however it will be a lot better than your original crossfire choice.

Would be fun to buy to 4830 and Xfire them tho
